This workshop is for people who wish to extend their exploration of relief block printing techniques.
Participants should have either completed an introductory printmaking course at either ArtWorld Studio Gallery or an institute of higher learning. You will need a clear idea of what you want to achieve, as participants will be encouraged to explore their own direction with the medium.
Participants are expected to provide the following:
  • Fine-tipped permanent waterproof black marking pen
  • HB pencil and ballpoint pen
  • One or two blocks of silkcut lino
  • A utility knife or Stanley knife
  • Lino or wood cutting tools
  • An image, or images, prepared for transferring onto a block (images should not be bigger than the block, usually 150 x 150mm)
  • Old clothes and/or an apron
  • 2 sheets of good quality white printing paper (e.g. Canson Edition 250gsm 560x760mm, Velin BFK Rives Paper 280gsm 56x76cm, Fabriano or Magnani).
All other materials will be supplied.
Required tools will be available to purchase on the day from the ArtWorld Studio Gallery Shop.

In compliance with Workshop Health & Safety regulations, all participants must wear closed-in shoes. Lunch is not provided, though tea and coffee will be available.
